I did mind but what could I do? The table perfectly matches a mirror that I've had since '92 and I made a tiny entryway with the two pieces out of what was just a corner by the door for those last minute checks of appearance before exiting and a lovely place to put the keys, dog leash, etc. It is just as pretty as it looks online, too, with excellent workmanship, saturated colors and beautiful finishes. No assembly, either! I just wish I didn't have to wait an eternity to get it!
